I'm 5 ' 10 and 150 lbs right now. I started this cutting phase on August 3rd at 156.4 lbs. My maintenance calories are about 2,650 calories and I cut about 500 calories. I feel like this requires a lot of mental toughness because sometimes you feel hungry. Just remember you aren't starving yourself but you will feel hungry. In the morning I take krill oil and drink a tea with ginger, lemon, and turmeric and do intermittent fasting until my first meal which is usually around 1- 2 pm. Drink a lot of water because that helps with the hunger. This a full day of eating 2000 calories. Dont forget to do some form of cardio which can just be walking and lift weights.
